ACC All Access: Virginia adds 2014 commitment from Steven Moss, one of the nation's top offensive tackles

By Norm Wood

Though Virginia is set to improve its depth at the offensive tackle positions in early August with the addition of five incoming freshman linemen, the Cavaliers are also now slated to add their best tackle prospect in four years in the 2014 recruiting class.

Steven Moss, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound offensive tackle from Chancellor High in Fredericksburg, committed Saturday to U.Va., according to the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star. He's considered by most recruiting analysts to be among the nation's top 100 overall prospects and top 10 offensive tackles in the '14 class.

In addition to a scholarship offer from U.Va., he also has offers from Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Florida State, West Virginia, Clemson, Penn State, North Carolina, Tennessee, N.C. State, Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Syracuse, Wake Forest and others, according to Rivals.com.

If Moss signs a letter of intent with U.Va., he’ll be the highest rated offensive line signee to come to Charlottesville since 2010, when current starting Morgan Moses got to U.Va. He started at right tackle the last three seasons for U.Va., but will slide to starting left tackle this coming season.

Moss, who was chosen first team All-Battlefield District the last two seasons, is the third commitment for U.Va.’s class of ’14. U.Va. already has a '14 class commitment from Quin Blanding of Bayside High in Virginia Beach - considered the nation's top safety prospect and one of the top 15 overall prospects by many analysts. Feb. 5 will be the first day recruits can sign a letter of intent with a university.
